We think the survey is a great idea because we happen to agree with Monfort: Having the public's input into the selection process is key.

The town-gown relationship — the term given to how a university exists with the town it occupies — can be a tricky one.

When the relationship is good, both the school and the town have the chance to accentuate each other's strengths and mutually prosper. When it's bad, though, it's hard for either to reach its potential.

We realize the public input gathered through this survey will only make up a very small part of what is considered when it comes time to pick a new leader for UNC, and rightfully so.

But we're still glad they're asking. We hope residents take the time to check it out.
